$100,000 race at Awapuni yesterday with a full field and plenty of form and their tote win pool was $7682 and $3716 place pool. Not seeing any surging revenue here, either from increased stakes or online monopoly legislation.
-
Another example of the top-down autocratic approach to leadership that I wrote the letter about.
-
I don't really see where Eliot's response suggests it is on behalf of anyone other than him and the RIB?
-
Yes that includes sports betting. It's 50% GBR, Im pretty sure.
-
Don't agree with that at all. In my experience NZTR are extremely prompt and efficient with this sort of thing. More likely busy trainers a bit delinquent with their change of stable paperwork if that is necessary here.
-
That's definitely Entain's saving from their share. Won't accrue anything to NZTAB/NZracing.
-
I thought it was 50% GBR isn't it?
-
And remember that NZ racing will only get half of that from 2028

Financial Year TAB NZ Gross Betting Revenue (NZ$ million) 2019/20 315 2020/21 385 2021/22 380 2022/23 376 2023/24 371

Where do you get that from? Overall I have the GBR peak in 20/21, flat since then.
-
Critical one GBR, up 1.2%, well below CPI. Take no responsibility by way of the product but blame it on FO margins

Some of those were pretty quick in their day. -

Think I prefer 100% of a slow one than 1% of a hopeful champ. -

Haha. Do you think I should trade in my recent gavelhouse purchase? -
AML issues?
-
Exactly! And their next highest rated horse is now on the minimum with us.
-
Not as far as I know but someone like @Freda can probably more reliably confirm or otherwise. I'm certainly aware of situations where say a late nom of an R80 horse in a R75 race, means the weights are compressed significantly and a horse down the handicap is suddenly carrying 54 rather than the expected 56 unleashing a frenzied couple of hours looking for a suitable rider that can make the weight.
-
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, late nominations for races left open usually close at 9am on withdrawal day. The handicapper then declares the weights and those are then published on the Loveracing site before withdrawals close at 10am. I would think most trainers would monitor those before accepting as the weights may affect jockey options which have to be declared by 1pm.
-
They are aren't they? You need those to assess the field and decide whether you are going to pay up or not?

It's early days and the only available data I know of is the HRNZ betting data. I note this is limited and does not account for seasonal variation. However, From the seasonal data through 27/06, GBR=35,796,319 Starters=24,139 GBR/starter=$1483 Since the legislation came into effect from 29/6-20/7 GBR=1,653,903 Starters=1140 GBR/starter=$1451 So, early indication is no increase, in fact a slight decline. Hopefully, TABNZ will have a more glowing report at the end of the month based on the overall racing and sports betting data.

I thought your argument was spurious as Newmarket pointed out. It's apples and oranges when humans play contact sports of their own volition. Calling them risky is one thing but hardly cruel. Horses on the other hand have little choice but to participate in jumping races and that's for human entertainment.
-
I've done it now, though I think they could have asked better questions if they want a fuller picture.
-
Yes, I got it but haven't responded. The other news doesn't surprise me or if it does, it's that there are NO gains, rather than disappointing gains.
